Jillian Medvecky earned her first West Coast Conference weekly honor of the season after two shutouts, the conference announced Monday afternoon.
This week, Medvecky tallied 13 saves for a shutout on the road at Santa Clara as well as at home against Gonzaga. Through five games, the Ohio native has only allowed two goals in WCC play, tied for the best in the conference. Tallying her highest save count to date Saturday, Medvecky secured eight saves against the Zags to keep a clean sheet.

Julia Quinonez earned back-to-back offensive player of the week awards Oct. 6 and Sept. 29. The Waves last had three consecutive weeks with an honor in the fall of 2021 when Joelle Anderson won back-to-back offensive awards before
Tori Waldeck earned her first of her collegiate career.
